1. Paleo Cauliflower Fried Rice: Finely chopped cauliflower florets (use your food processor) sub in for the rice in this low-carb recipe from A Spicy Perspective. The other secret ingredient? Bacon, which lends a full-bodied, meaty flavor that rounds out the dish.

2. Paleo Chicken Pot Pie: A crisp, flaky crust gives way to warm, creamy chicken-and-veggie deliciousness inside. Surprise! That crust, courtesy of Life Made Full, is grain-free — it’s made with almond and tapioca flours.

3. Paleo Spaghetti and Meatballs: Serve these beefy meatballs over roasted spaghetti squash strands or zucchini noodles, depending on what’s in season. Try this neat trick: Danielle Walker of Against All Grain recommends peeling and semi-dehydrating the zucchini noodles to make them softer and more similar to spaghetti noodles.

4. Paleo Mac and Cheese: Most paleo versions of macaroni and cheese use cooked cauliflower or some other vegetable in place of the pasta. But Predominantly Paleo provides a recipe for pasta made from cassava flour, so your mac and cheese will taste more like the real thing.
